Welcome to Movie Tao Productions

Posted by Movie Tao

Movie Tao Productions was formed in early 2002 by Chuck Fallaw and Bren Pettengill with a goal of writing, directing and producing films in the South East. Movie Tao definitely has a voice all its own. The films are usually slightly off beat with an underlying sarcastic humor that is both funny and cutting at the same time. Their next film 1.8 Days is currently in preproduction.

1.8 Days

Posted by Movie Tao

1.8 Days is the next film from Movie Tao Productions. The film follows the story of 5 people who must rely on each other to survive an unbelievable event. Sounds simple enough. Survival by any means necessary is a common human instinct. There is one problem though… they all hate each other. They hate each other so much that what would normally be an overwhelming onslaught of (thought I was going to tell you huh?) is nothing more than an annoyance because now they have to put off killing each other. Visceral, sharp, action packed and funny as hell, 1.8 Days is going to be one unforgettable film. “You are about to make a cult classic!” - Ed Kramer - SFX Director - Star Wars

Local Charity

Posted by Movie Tao

Two sets of friends’ lives intertwine when the results of a radio station contest force them to confront who they are and realize that what’s missing from their lives is each other. “Local Charity” is a fun romantic comedy written by Bren Allison and Charles Fallaw. The story follows four young singles carrying on long-distance romances, each with a secret identity they must, for one reason or another, protect. A shocking surprise comes when the Tabloids find out about the celebrity status of one of the singles and their lives are abruptly thrust into the public eye. Each player in this love tryst suddenly has a lot of explaining to do and everything to lose.

Quotes:

"This piece is very well written, the characters are amazing and the ending is phenomenal."
Bob McMinn - Lakeshore Entertainment

"You have approached lofty theological themes, rendering them thoroughly palatable through a striking update of the Book of Job. The tense conflict between the two central characters crackles with suspense, culminating in a stunning, visceral conclusion."
Quentin Little - HDNet films.

"It's like a religious Shakespearean tragedy."
Bruce Williamson - Carolina Film Alliance
